As transporting bulk chlorine on crowded highways and into residential areas becomes an increasing safety concern, more stringent regulation of toxic gases and accidental releases of chlorine have required industry professionals to seek alternative methods of disinfection.
For disinfection of both drinking water and wastewater, the ClorTec® on-site sodium hypochlorite system is a proven, cost-effective, reliable and safe alternative treatment to chlorine gas and bulk sodium hypochlorite disinfection. The use of on-site generated sodium hypochlorite reduces the formation of disinfection byproducts and improves water quality. On-site sodium hypochlorite generation offers advantages such as:
- Increased safety
- Reduced operational costs
- Consistent solution strength
- On-demand production
- Non hazardous chemical (feed or product)
The use of on-site generation also eliminates process safety management training, risk management planning and purchasing and transportation of hazardous chemicals as defined by HazMat and OSHA requirements in the U.S.
The standard ClorTec system is the most reliable and efficient in the industry, with more than 3,000 installations worldwide. ClorTec on-site sodium hypochlorite generating systems which range in capacity from 6 to 3,000+ lb/day (2.7 to 1,360+ kg/day) of chlorine equivalent and generate a 0.8% sodium hypochlorite solution using three common consumables: salt, water and electricity. To meet varying application specific conditions, the ClorTec systems are available as component-based or skid-based systems. ClorTec units are NSF Standard 61 and 50 certified, compliant with ATEX requirements, have ETV verification and are UK Secretary of State approved.
Series MCT
A standardized ClorTec® Series MCT on-site sodium hypochlorite generating system is available to meet disinfection requirements for 12 to 36 lb/day and 5.4 to 16.3 kg/day of chlorine equivalent. The Series MCT systems are supplied in a factory tested skid mounted configuration and come with standard features including a high-efficiency electrolytic cell or cells, on-board water softener, integrated control panel/power supply and brine proportioning pump. Standardization of the ClorTec MCT ensures easy ordering, and the system’s compact design allows for easy maintenance and system expansion.
